Special Preview: Import Export + Ulrich Seidl interview

"Seidl's eye for the grotesque makes him the Diane Arbus of world cinema, and this was often startling, horrible and brilliant." Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian

A formidable and clear-eyed portrait of modern Europe from Austrian director Ulrich Seidl, the noted documentary film-maker who made his feature debut in 2001 with Dog Days. This new film tells two stories: Olga, a young Ukrainian nurse, journeys west to Austria looking for a better life, while unemployed Austrian Paul heads east with his stepfather. Seidl presents separate stories but shared experiences as his characters discover that, despite modern Europe's promise of a better life, things really are tough all over. The director will be present post-screening for a special onstage interview.
